I See Me
Location
I walk the halls, invisible.
I call my friends; no one is home.
I ask my mom, "I'm busy, dear."
Is there ever anybody really there?
I look at my reflection,
not liking what I see...
When will everyone notice,
when will I be me?
With all the makeup,
with all the clothes,
with all the hair styles,
I am a joke.
I have my scars
no one can see,
I have my masks,
I am not me.
Without the face, without the scars,
without the money, without the cars,
I am just me, I am just weak,
I am just silent, don't say a peep.
I am transparent, you cannot see--
you cannot see, the real me.
Take off the makeup,
Take off the clothes,
Take off my masks,
because I know
I know who I am,
I know I am me,
despite the anger,
despite my pleas.
I am a daughter,
I am a star,
I am the reflection,
I am the war.
I help you see,
When will you realize, that this is me?
Take away this feeling, take away the distress,
take away these bad vibes,
realize that I am the BEST.
Take off the masks,
take off the clothes,
take off the makeup
I know I am home.
Look in the mirror,
what do I see?
Look in the mirror
I see...me
